MUCH ADO ABOUT LITTLE

Sony/ATV Music Publishing renewed its worldwide deal with Grammy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated songwriter, musician and producer Joel Little.

The new agreement takes in his work with Lorde (Little co-wrote and produced her debut album Pure Heroine) plus songs with artists Khalid, Imagine Dragons and Sam Smith.

It also covers future compositions, and a busy 2018 for Little has also included singles and cuts with artists such as 6LACK, Daya, Mikky Ekko, Noah Kahan and Amy Shark.

Sony/ATV Co-President, U.S. Rick Krim said: “It has been an honor and a pleasure for all of us at Sony/ATV to work with Joel, and we couldn’t be happier for his ongoing success. We are thrilled to be continuing with him and are excited about what the future will bring. Now, who brought the cigars?"

Sony/ATV SVP and Co-Head of West Coast A&R Jennifer Knoepfle added: “It’s been an incredible ride working side by side with this talented and lovely man. I am so proud of the work he’s created throughout his career and so happy we are continuing our long-standing relationship. And Rick, you were supposed to bring the cigars."

“Sony/ATV have been taking care of me for 10 years now and at this point it just feels like home," Joel Little said, "the extended family there have put in so much hard work for me over the years and I can’t wait to see where we take things with this next chapter. Also, if there are no cigars, we can always smoke this massive blunt I brought."
